Kingdoms of Amalur Wiki Guide

Niskaru

Niskaru are beings of chaos magic that are usually summoned to the world of Amalur by mages hoping to use them as combatants of some kind. They are not explicitly declared as being a type of Fae, and their unique body shapes, features, and vocalizations suggest that they are not related to the creatures of Amalur, though such a thing is not entirely out of the question.

Most Niskaru, the Hunters and Bloodhunters, are fast-moving, usually coordinated foes that are often found in pairs or triads. They generally resemble squat, bipedal insects, and have barbed, knife-like protrusions on their wrists that they use to shred foes. They have a habit of making two-hit combos consistently and dealing large amounts of damage if they catch a target unguarded.

Often, a good method of dealing with these Hunter Niskaru is to separate them by moving between them and pushing them apart with consistent attacks, then dealing with them individually if possible.
